Elle,

I've got a back pack type diaper bag that is made by Baby Trend. I think it's going to be really great... lots of room to store stuff in nice, easy to access compartments. It's versatile enough that Mike won't feel like a dork carrying it around and I like it a lot too...

One thing I remember from when I used one with Olivia was that if something spilled or leaked, it got all over everything! That's why I think I'm going to like this one so much. But, I haven't looked at the LL Bean or Eddie Bauer ones myself. But, I will add that OIivia has an LL Bean backpack for school and if the diaper bag is anything like the backpack, It would be great!

Elle,

I have one by Baby Trends which is like a back pack, it's all cloth and is wonderful if you spill something in it. Just throw it in the washer, hang to dry and it's good to go. The only thing I find frustrating about it is - it's like a bottomless pit. You put something in it and you have to almost empty the damn thing to find it again (that's the one I had from Casey and I still use occasionally.) With Tessa I bought a more traditional diaper bag. It made by Graco, it has a big front pocket that holds all the different things you need (wet wipes, diaper, lotions, etc., etc.) It also has several pockets on each end (great for bottles) and another pocket on the opposite side of the big pocket that great for papers, car keys, etc. And of course there is the big middle compartment, which is also like a bottomless pit. But at least the diaper stuff is more organized in this one - lol!

After four children I have to say the most important thing about a diaper bag is that it be washable! Because they tend to get very dirty. There's my two cents!

Love & hugs,

Jo-Ann

Diaper Bags and other Products

Hey Girls!We are in the process of choosing a diaper bag, amongst all of the other baby paraphenalia! I have a book that rates everything from monitors to cribs to strollers to car seats, etc. on quality, safety, recalls, value, etc. This book says that Lands End and Eddie Bauer have the best diaper bags. I was just wondering what diaper bag you Moms are already using or which ones the Moms-to-be intend to use???And, if anyone is currently using either Lands End or Eddie Bauer, what comments they might share with us.If anyone has had good/bad experience with any product, I would love to hear about it. Making all of these choices is overwhelming!!! Nothing like the hand of experience to guide us!elle

Thanks Jo-Ann!

I'll look at those and keep in mind the washable issue. Thanks!

That's something I hadn't considered!

Hi Elle,

We registered for the Baby Bjorn diaper bag that looks like a bowling bag

(not sure of the exact title, but it's roughly $100).
